Fits somehow to the development since Australis arrived. Mozilla switched focus to less demanding users and have been restructuring therefor their feature set. This is just a logical step "forward" for them.

When greed for influence, money and market share is evolving, then a company has a serious problem.

Reason:Clarified subject line to reflect what the article is really about

That's a very disturbing article. Just reinforces my decision to never get a Smart phone but just stay with a plain cell phone for those times I really need one (otherwise use an old fashioned CORDED landline with an unlisted and unpublished number).

The comments at the bottom of the article were quite interesting also. If I ever were to get a Smart phone it would have to be an iphone simply because I already do everything possible on my computer to block Google, GMail idiots, Chrome browser, Facebook and all the other crap so I would never consider a phone running an Android OS.

Why is the person who posted this article from a very worthwhile site a "troll"? He uses Pale Moon? So what? I do also as well as Fx ESR, Vivaldi, SeaMonkey and Opera 12.18.

The main problem here is why Mozilla not using its own telemetry system... as for now more and more looks like Mozilla steadily forgetting its own "no-data-ping" policy and principles from old times...

Then why are you here

I have not seen a sign which forbids ex-Firefox users to post here.

And the only thing supportive of PM which I wrote was that dumping Gecko would be better - same for SeaMonkey.

That was not a bad suggestion as QT would be able to offer both a more secure future.

Also you can't draw the conclusion that one is supporting something when one is just mentioning a certain term.

If you want to make sure a certain range of topics are forbidden make an announcement when one is simply entering Mozillazine. That simple. That this is a banning and topic lock reason. Should not be that complicated to show such a warning at forum entry.

The real question is "Why post an article with less than valid assumptions and uncertain intentions on the part of the author?" If it's just that those facts weren't clear to you when you posted the link, admit to that and let's move on. If the point was to denigrate Firefox Focus, be up front about that and we can move on. It's our uncertainty about motives that makes questions about a PM user posting on MozillaZine legitimate.
